If you want to configure WOCR for inbound , you can maintain for AA along with putaway activity.

for outbound process storage process ( sequential external steps ) can assign to WOCR. But for IBD process, we can use storage process with assigning to WPT level.

Inbound sorting useful to create the WO with reference to sort rules.sorting all WTs at the start of warehouse order creation (inbound sorting), as soon as warehouse order creation processes a sort rule.
